Tune Up...

I'm planning on doing a tune up for my car and im wondering
what else is there to do for a tune up for the TLs? O_o...There isn't any spark plug wires or distributor cap, so no point of getting those. I have spark plugs and oil filter right now...

Im pretty sure there are wires, arent there? NGK's

whats your mileage? Acura has different reccommended services for different mileage intervals. Some people here found they could save money by getting a list of whats done by Acura and taking that list to another mechanic that charges less than the dealer for service.

yeah, just check with the dealer on the exact mileage intervals for that 90kmi service, the timing belt one. make sure its been done. if it has, and you still want a tune-up, maybe try a Jiffy Lube Engine Flush? I got one, I dont know if I got jipped or not, but the car seemed to run smoother after that.

At what mileage point should you get a engine flush?

About every 2 years (or 30K mi) on the cooling system flush.
